A die is rolled twice. Find each probability. 1) P(2 then 3) =(1/6)*(1/6)=1/36 ? 2) P( two 4s) = (1/6)*(1/6)=1/36 3) P(two of the same number)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are doing it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how 3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same as the other two, there is a 1 in 6 probability of getting any number on each roll

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you can get any number on the first roll, and the next roll has a 1 in 6 chance of being the same number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 1/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does this make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1) and 2) = 1/36 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3)=1/6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

number 3 is 1/6, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't get 1/6 rolled twice, 1/6 only one variable need 2 varibal becausre rolled twice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you do not need a formula for two of the same number. just count (1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4), (5,5),(6,6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 out of 36 possibilities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank satellite, good explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can count for others as well. two fours (4,4) only one way two and then 3 (2,3) one way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for two dice it is good to check the formula, but you can always just count successes. only 36 possibilities so it is not hard to count

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, not hard just confuing
